Chronic oral l-DOPA increases dopamine and decreases serotonin excretions.
Given the common pathways for uptake and synthesis for dopamine and serotonin, enhanced renal dopamine synthesis in response to increased substrate 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (l-DOPA) is postulated to decrease renal serotonin synthesis. The present study compared the effects of chronic oral administration ofl-DOPA on dopamine and serotonin excretion in vivo, with the effects of enhanced dopamin...
متن کاملStriatal dopamine levels and changes in mitochondrial function following chronic 3-nitropropionic acid treatment in rats
An irreversible inhibitor of complex II in the mitochondria, 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NP), induces bilateral striatal lesions with many neuropathological features of Huntington’s disease (HD) in rats. It is widely used as a model of HD. Chronic systemic treatment of 3-NP for 4 days in rats (10, 15 and 20 mg/kg) caused a significant dose-dependent reduction in succinate dehydrogenase activity, w...

متن کاملDopamine release from serotonergic nerve fibers is reduced in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia.
L-DOPA is the most commonly used treatment for symptomatic control in patients with Parkinson's disease. Unfortunately, most patients develop severe side-effects, such as dyskinesia, upon chronic l-DOPA treatment. The patophysiology of dyskinesia is unclear; however, involvement of serotonergic nerve fibers in converting l-DOPA to dopamine has been suggested. Therefore, potassium-evoked dopamin...
متن کاملActivation of dopamine cell firing by repeated L-DOPA administration to dopamine-depleted rats: its potential role in mediating the therapeutic response to L-DOPA treatment.
The administration of L-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) to patients with Parkinson's disease is known to produce acute effects that include the reduction of rigidity as well as delayed therapeutic actions involving the resumption of complex motor behavior. In order to examine the potential role of dopamine (DA) cell activity in mediating these responses, the effects of acute and repeated L-DOPA...
